As Summer opened up her
tower she saw someone very familiar to her going in to the water with
his surfboard, she knew that eventually she would have to raise the
flag blackballing surfers but the waves were good and there was no
on else on the beach so she just watched him surf. She was often
jealous about how easy and naturally it came to him, but then again
this was his home, he was raised on the beach. He told her that when
he was in school he was always barefoot in his shoes and had sand in
them too so that he always had the beach with him.

Eventually people
started arriving and she had to raise the blackball flag for the
surfers. Hobbie looked up at the flag just as he was coming in on a
wave he saw it and was caught off guard by the wave behind him, lucky
Summer saw it and sprang into action. It didn't mater to her who it
was she had a job to do. When she got to him he accepted her help.
Once they got back to dry land Hobbie begged her not to fill out a
rescue card for this. She reluctantly didn't but she did make him
sit in the tower for a little bit just to make sure he was ok.

Well he was sitting on
the front of the tower with his legs hanging off the edge he felt
pain in his abs again this time it was closer to his right side. He
was thinking back to his paramedic training about the symptoms of
appendicitis. He turned around and asked Summer about them. She
looked down at him and asked him if he was felling ok. Hobbie thought
about lying to her but the pain had actually gotten worse now, so he
said to her not my belly hurts right here he said as he pointed to
the lower right side of his abdomen. Summer looked at him and said
"Hobbie I going to call for an ambulance I don't think you should
drive yourself to the hospital." She could tell that he seamed a
little upset about that, but then he said "that's a good Idea and
he handed her his keys and said "can you get them to call my dad to
come pickup up my jeep and board." She said yes as she picked up
the phone to call headquarters. When they picked up she said this is
Summer Quinn at tower 25 I need an ambulance for a 23 year old male
with possible appendicitis, also I need you to call his dad to come
and pick up his stuff." They then asked her for the number of the
dad and she just said "call Mitch its Hobbie". About five minutes
later the paramedics arrived and took Hobbie to the Hospital. About 5
minutes after they left Mitch came over and said that he just saw
them put him in the ambulance and was going to take Hobbies jeep to
the Hospital and see him there. Summer handed him the keys and told
him not to forget Hobbies surf board. Mitch put it on the rook rack
on the jeep and locked it before driving to the Hospital.

Once he got there he
parked the car somewhere safe where the surf board on the roof
wouldn't get damaged. Then he headed into the ER to find out where
Hobbie was. They directed him to one of the exam rooms where he was
lying with an IV in his arm giving him some morphine for the pain and
he said that the doctor was going to come back with an ultra sound
machine but he thought that it was most likely his appendix. When the
doctor returned he used the ultra sound on Hobbies abdomen and said
that he needed to call a surgeon down to look at him and that he
would likely need to have an appendectomy. Well they were waiting for
the surgeon to come a nurse started taking some more of Hobbie's
medical history. He told her about having his Tonsils out and the
time he was in the hospital because of swimming in some toxic waste.
Once the surgeon came down he examined Hobbie again and said "I
need to book an OR for him to take his appendix out." Hobbie asked
his dad to sign the consent form as he wasn't really feeling much
like himself right know because of the morphine he was getting. About
20 minutes later a couple of orderlies came to take Hobbie upstairs
to the operating room.

About an hour later the
surgeon came out to tell Mitch that Hobbie was out of surgery and in
the recovery room. When Mitch got there Hobbie was just waking up.
